ZELLER 3/4 DOUBLE BASS *** SOLD ***

[7string]

I've been trying to decide whether to sell my upright to finance a new electric bass. Well now I've decided and my whole double bass package is now offered for sale.

However, instead of jumping onto eBay, I thought I'd offer it here for a couple of days first...

So here we have an Andreas Zeller, 3/4 size double bass of solid wood construction. This is the most common size for double bass as the 4/4 (full size) versions are simply massive !! I bought the bass early this year from the very helpful Glasgow Violin Shop. The bass is already fitted with a bridge pickup, the 1/4" out of which can be seen just below the bridge. Not only that, but the bridge itself is adjustable using the thumbwheels in each leg of the bridge. The bass stands approx 6 feet tall (180cm)without the spike being extended and has a scale length of 41" (104cm).

Also offered for sale is the bow from Upton Bass in the USA. This bow is in the French style and has a 100% ebony frog, stainless steel wrap and un-dyed black horsehair. I bought this as it was highly recommended by players in the USA.

Finally, is the Ingles stand also from Upton Bass in the USA which you can see in the photos. This stand has a handy bow holder (again, see photos) is fully adjustable and keeps your bass ready to play. It also saves having to lay the bass down and exposing it to the dangers of being stood on and tripped over.

Here some photos:
